Administrative Note
Posted By Russ Emerson on April 17, 2006 at 11:10 pm
Just a reminder: the site will be undergoing maintenance, upgrades, and redesign for the next couple of days.
The hacking which was responsible for the suddenness of these changes has turned out to be a MoveableType vulnerability, the nature of which apparently has yet to be determined. MT users are advised to lock down the permissions on their sites. See:

http://www.learningmovabletype.com/announce/a/000823update_to_attacked.php
and

During the redesign, please feel free to let me know if you see any weirdness (apart from that inherent in the site owner, who is already quite aware of his own eccentricities, thankyouverymuch.)
Update: the upgrade seems to have gone well. Template re-design awaits… but I’m not sure exactly how different I want to make the new design. We’ll see. *
When you’re done, can you explain it to me, oh guru? :)
Which, the upgrade, or the locking-down?
The former I could do. :-)
The latter, I can do a lockdown on my own site, but I need to read up in order to translate the linked pages into English. :-(
